As with all the cars ive ever owned, i drive em everywhere and often, after years of spending about 6hrs just to wash it properly ,and things like having to paint the back of brake pads ,and polish the calipers when you do a service etc, it was a lot of work, i had no house or kids then so had time and money to waste on it, so while id still like to have it, i don't really miss it at all :smile:

This is my current toy:

1966 HR Holden Special
58,000 miles, original unrestored condition. Never had a radio, heater, windscreen washers etc.
Drives beautiful!
I'm thinking I should dig out some old photo's of some others...
I've had another HR, LX Hatch, HZ Caprice, VQ Caprice, VN Calais (with factory V8 manual), VU SS, VE SS Sportwagon Manual.... Just some of the favourites!
Definitely not in the same class as the rest here but I had a VH sedan with a sh*t hot 202, hot cam, blueprint 173 hp head ported and polished, straight cut timing gears, elec dizzy, etc etc... over jetted weber, stage 3 suspension, Celica steelcase 5 speed. Wasn't the neatest, and definitely not rare, but was great fun to drive. Would still be putting out power at 7000 rpm!
Nothing wrong with a Holden 6 - especially with a bit of work.
I don't own any anymore, but back in the old skool days I had quite a few, here's a couple.
Back in the day when you could drive a V8 on your learners
